Breaking silos: cross-government collaboration for fiscal resilience

Abstract

.

Public finance today faces complex challenges that require moving beyond isolated policy-making. Fragmented approaches lead to inefficiencies and conflicting priorities. Effective solutions demand cross-government collaboration, starting with a shared understanding of problems. A recent study of UK civil servants highlights the importance of integrating diverse perspectives to develop coherent, collaborative policies. While difficult, this approach is essential for addressing modern public issues and ensuring fiscal resilience.
